First Time Offered

Lemon Slice Supertunias

 

You’ll think you’re seeing stars when you see these bright yellow and white striped trailing mini-petunias. The stripes are so striking that they make a knock-out display on their own or paired with another daring color.

 

To see what these can do for you, keep an eye on our front containers at Sugar Creek, we've planted them up with our favorites of 2013. You'll see 'Hot Springs Dark Blue' Lobelia, the beauty that takes the heat, and the incomparable ‘Neon Rose’ mini-petunia, a brilliant, electric, megawatt pink. For center height we're going with the new 'Princess Polly' Foxglove, a sterile beauty with loads of spires of deep pink bells that will begin blooming soon and will continue well into fall.

 

 

Cool color for your hot spots
Hot Springs

Dark Blue Lobelia

 

Forget about those old Lobelias that stopped blooming once the summer turned hot. The highly sought-after true blue Lobelia that loves the St. Louis heat and humidity is finally here! Don’t let this annual Lobelia’s dainty sapphire blue flowers fool you – one plant packs a big punch and will fill a pot quickly. We fell in love with this delightful annual last year. All the way through that blistering hot summer it was never out of bloom, in fact, it bloomed profusely in full sun. Sun to part shade.

Deers and Bunnies

DEVASTATED!

Animals find their tastiest foods inedible!

 

NO, YOU’RE NOT DREAMING. Your years of gardening heartache and animal-browsing damage are over.

 

Repellex is a tablet that you poke in the soil at the base of the plant you want to protect. Its secret ingredient – a hot pepper concentrate – is absorbed into the plant, making it inedible to animals. INEDIBLE!

 

On top of that, one tablet lasts an entire season and won’t wash off the plant. Plus no stinky sprays to deal with.

 

That’s right – bunny- and deer-proof plants!

Now you too can enjoy Coneflowers, Hostas, Phlox, Asters, Black-Eyed Susans and more.
